Rotten Away

NSFW

Lyrics

you dumb shit
dont quit
dont you think about it
im stuck
unluck
wont you drink about it

i fret
ill bet
did you know about it
im dunked
all wet
someone told about it

oh

rottin away

tell the truth
tell the time
whyd you lie about it
dumb dick
dont stick
in the mud about it
im high im big
im so big about it
im done undone
dont be rude about it

oh
ride it away
rottin away

Got me humming, got me good. Loving the laid back Jack Jonsonesque vibe. Nice!

@lichtere 1d

Such a fresh tune. Great road trip song! Really like your voice and laid back feel.

something about the saddle-weary cadence makes me feel you on this one. i also liked the sighing vocal delivery on "i'm high"

I'll drink to that. It is, after all, February now. Nice, relaxed sing around the campfire song. Enjoyable listen!

@artie 2w

Yes! So glad you’re back, homie. Been waiting all year for a new batch of tuneage. Did you triple octave your vox on this one? Btw, I still constantly tell people about your song duo last year, “I don’t wanna take a shower,” followed by, “now that I’m in the shower I don’t wanna get out.” So good!!

@fantex 2w

I dig it.

There is a late Beatles atmosphere to this. Very George Harrisson feel to that solo. Those short lines are very effective. This could prove to be today’s ear worm.

Good to hear some new @mardeycranbleson compositions. I am picturing the spawn of Jeff Tweedy and Gene Ween recording this lovely little ditty. Great stuff

This might just be my internal monologue? Or it might be that now? I really really like the rhyme scheme, with the lines so short and direct it becomes as rhythmic as it is lyrical, and the slow downward plod (I mean that extremely complimentary)of the backing adds to the feeling of repeated hits in a downward spiral - love it, awesome to hear you again
